Active vs. Passive Voice

The relationship of the subject to the verb in a sentence is called the voice.
A sentence is written in the active voice if the subject is doing the action of
the verb.
 Example: Mr. Reyes donated the X-ray machine. The active voice is
straightforward and clear. It focuses on the subject doing the action. A
sentence is written in the passive voice if the subject receives the action.
Example: The X-ray machine was donated by Mr. Reyes. The passive
voice is only effective if the person or thing doing the action is unspecified
or unknown. It is also effective if the receiver of the action is to be
emphasized.
Example: The hospital was built in the 1950s. (The person behind
construction of the hospital is unknown.)
A donation worth ₱1M was received by the organization. (The receiver of
the action is emphasized.)
